Yuri has both back-end and front-end experience. He cares a lot about design although he's not a designer; he's proud to walk all the extra miles to get a pixel-perfect layout and the most consistent API. He has worked as a team leader and as a team member and has done very well in both roles.

Developed an algorithm for adjusting the saturation of a given color according to another color. In practical terms, it adjusts a color so that it will look beautiful when used together with the base color.

Applied a sigmoid function to make greater/lesser comparisons when generating metadata to integrate with legacy proprietary XML scripting for desktop software.

Developed a SQL statements repository with several tools for report generation.

Developed web scraping of medical information.

Constructed a dashboard application with API to integrate with several data providers at the company.
